UWSP Women's Basketball Team raises $1,700 for Project Embrace

University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Women's Basketball sponsored a pancake breakfast on Oct. 5 with proceeds benefiting the Project Embrace Fund at Saint Michael's Foundation. They raised $1,700 for Project Embrace, which provides fleece blankets to oncology patients while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment. The Project Embrace Fund was started by Linda Cook, a breast cancer survivor, in 2008 and has provided hundreds of warm, comforting blankets to local cancer patients. 'We love working with Linda and Project Embrace,' said UWSP Women's Basketball Coach Shirley Egner. 'The team feels incredibly honored to assist in raising funds for such a worthy cause in our community.'
